Our ~2012 "smart" thermostat just turned the heat on in the summertime because the batteries got low and it lost our settings. Restoring those settings depends upon a proprietary off-site web API or re-reading the manual to understand the inscrutable LCD panel.
So, I'm poking around the web this morning for a replacement.
Any recommendations for a WiFi capable thermostat that either serves its own webserver to which we can connect or has a guaranteed SLA to be viable for the next decade or two?
Have open and widely-used standards finally emerged in the thermostat world?
Thanks!
